M2M without Borders Why eSIM is a Game Changer for the International ‘Internet of Things’

March 1, 2016

When hearing the term, “machine-to-machine,” most people probably think of the ubiquitous cell phone … in one form or another. With a little more consideration, the average person might also decide to include laptops and notepads as additional actors in the modern world of mobile communications. Another way of thinking about M2M is as a whole “Internet of Things” for which online connectivity is essential. This IoT is comprised of devices that transmit digital data via some type of network (wired, wireless, hybrid) to another device that then translates the communication into usable
information. Today, we see M2M applications for such purposes as logistics, fleet management, car safety, healthcare and smart metering … and those are just the tip of a rapidly growing iceberg.

Internet of Things for Telecom Engineers

whitePaper | February 11, 2020

The Internet of Things (IoT) is no longer the future: it is the new reality moving telecommunications forward. The IoT enables physical objects to see, hear, think, and perform jobs by having them “talk” to each other, share information, and coordinate decisions. The number of internet-enabled objects has surpassed the Earth’s population. Today, the IoT connects everything from HVAC thermostats and smart homes to transportation, healthcare, industrial automation, and emergency response equipment. As the prevalence of IoT innovations grow, telecom leaders must embrace the opportunities, and challenges, posed by a more connected future.

INTERNET OF THINGS AND UEI DATA ACQUISITION & CONTROL SYSTEMS

whitePaper | February 5, 2020

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a networked system of interconnected physical objects that have the capability of sharing data with each other and also with a cloud service for archiving and analysis. With IoT, data producing devices can easily publish data, and multiple consumer clients can receive that data from any location in the world.

Securing Devices in Advanced Metering Infrastructures

whitePaper | January 8, 2020

Smart grid managers and Head End System (HES) vendors depend on data to drive their business. Receiving and analyzing accurate data from grid endpoints - the smart meters - is the main element that determines business success. Their customers, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) and Advanced Metering Infrastructures (AMI) managers, then use this data for crucial processes: monitoring energy demand and production, load shifting to maintain a persistent grid balance at all times and billing customers. Each tiny bit of data is the starting point for monetization and asset management and it must be accurate and trusted in order to keep power flowing.
